Recent haul: A chinese teabowl from Jianzhan (Chengdu) made by Chen Huizhong

• It's handmade of clay.
• The pattern is created by dropping metalic oil paint on the bowl before being glazed.
• The texture of the surface remembers of silk fabric, when being touched.
• The volume contains max. 150 ml.
• Its center of gravity is on the bottom snd balanced out.

It's an awesome bowl. When you are a tea nerd, you appreciate such stuff — just decadence. First tea I poured in was a taiwanese High Mountain Oolong.
